Chushuu Saku Yanagiba Knife 330mm (1 Shaku 1 Sun)

Used a few times.
This is a Yanagiba knife made by Chufune and its dedicated saya (sheath).
The size is 1 shaku 1 sun (330mm).
The handle is Akane (madder red) with baked-on paint.
The dedicated saya is also the same color.
I recall that when I purchased it, the set of the Yanagiba knife and the dedicated saya with Mino saya lacquer finish cost over 40,000 yen.

Detailed Description ??
Chufune (忠舟作) is a brand from the Kabuki-cho Wa Hocho (Kabuki-style Japanese Knives) series handled by Intec Kaneki. It is known for its handles with baked-on paint (Kurokincha, Akane, Kuroishime) crafted by Mino artisans, combining beauty and functionality (water resistance). It is recognized as a traditional Japanese knife (Deba, Usuba, Yanagiba, etc.).
Furthermore, the dedicated saya features Mino's unique Mino saya lacquer finish, conveying the artisan's dedication.

I used the main knife more often,
and am now selling it as I no longer use it.
Please note that it is used and the original box is not included.
